Real Haunted Houses in Essex

After being gutted by fire, Borley Rectory was demolished in 1944. In its place now stand three luxury bungalows. For more than a century, however, there have been sightings of a nun, phantom coaches, and a headless man. There have also been reports of a poltergeist throwing items, mysterious footsteps, objects appearing from thin air and then vanishing back into it. From the nearby Borley church, unusual monastic chanting and organ music have been heard.
